"The response to our book has been incredible," says
Dave Wentz. "Although the book was
released less than three weeks ago, we have gotten calls from
reporters and TV and radio stations from all over North America. We have received over
3,000 'likes' on Facebook in a short time and gotten a lot of great
feedback from our readers. Clearly, the topics we address in
The Healthy Home are a huge interest to the general
public."
"It's an honor for us to make the New
York Times Best Sellers list," says Dr. Myron Wentz. "When we wrote this book, our goal
was to help educate people on the toxins and other dangers in their
homes and empower them to create a healthier environment for their
families. Making this prestigious list demonstrates we're
doing what we set out to do."
